What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani does not devote any sustained analysis to Alfredo Stroessner: he mentions him briefly, several times between 2019 and 2025, always as the dictator of Paraguay. These mentions come up in sessions on a range of subjects. In 2019, in a session devoted to Popper, he places him among heads of state with Germanic names1. In 2021, in a Q&A on the terms "red-brown" and "decolonial" and on the use of the dominant language, he again cites him as the dictator of Paraguay2. He reappears in 2023, in a session titled "Neither left nor right? Islamo-leftism?"3, and then in 2025, in connection with "the anti-Sovietism of the red-green Khmers"4. In 2024, in a session on Napoleon and "the reasons of cunning", he specifies that this dictatorship was exercised in the name of the "free world"5. The passages say nothing more: Stroessner serves as a passing reference and is not studied for his own sake.
